Which Labels Can I Use?

With Digit-Eyes, you are free from the hassle of purchasing
expensive supplies from special vendors! Digit-Eyes uses
ordinary, off-the-shelf address labels. When you want to make
labels, you will simply request as many codes as you want from
the website and then print them yourself using the printer
attached to your own computer. Naturally, there is no charge
from Digit-Eyes for this service.

Digit-Eyes will print on the labels listed below. There are
labels in both US and A4 formats. You can buy these types of
labels at any office supply store (in person or online), in
the office supply department of many "big-box"
stores or directly from Avery at www.avery.com (hint: use Google to
search the term "Avery" and the stock number of the
label you want -- you will find hundreds of sources!)

Hint: Many other companies make labels that are the
same as the Avery labels and they may be even cheaper than the
Avery labels. These will work perfectly well as long
as they are cut the same as the Avery labels. If you buy the
"house brand" of labels from another company, they
will typically give an Avery stock number equivalent. If you
have labels and want to know if they are the same as the Avery
labels, select the paper size and configuration (number of
labels across and down), then use the "print sample"
link to print a page on plain paper that shows the outlines of
the labels that Digit-Eyes expects to use. If the outlines of
the sample sheet match the outlines of the labels you bought
(this will take sighted assistance), then you can be assured
that the codes will print on them correctly.

Hint: Before you buy, check the package to make sure
the labels you are getting are the right ones for your
printer. The labels will be identified by the type of
printer that they are designed for. Inkjet labels should be
used only for inkjet printers; the labels may come loose if
used in a laser printer. Laser labels should be used only for
laser printers; they may have a coating that will keep inkjet
ink from sticking well. Multi-purpose labels can be used in
both inkjet and laser printers.
